Tea? (Part 3)

[the_mikey]

I'm literally just off 12m, worked Nebraska, Tennessee and Missouri on JT65 data....de GM7GAX

I used to experiment with PSK31 and hellschreiber.

Not that keen on Hell but cut my data teeth on PSK31, you should give JT65 JT9 a go...like watching paint dry but on my poor antenna (indoor/outdoor dipole-1/2 in loft then other leg down the back of down pipe) and low power, it gets me out....

I remember having a PSK31 qso with North America using the ft817 and 2.5w and a 1/8 wave whip via a tuner, really not ideal but it worked.

On YouTube I see
12 and 10 had been excellent for about a month now, 12 is still showing the odd weak trace....
I use my 817 for hill work although not much SOTA stuff done this year but next year, I'll get back in to it....
VHF only as I cannot see why you get so much height and work HF esp at height of hills up here...
I think a return to Snowdonia with Mrs Mhor next year may be on the cards....
I'm sure from Snowdon I'd catch you (even in yon hellhole)

Hello and happy teadrinking....see you on the other side!

My BIL's wife's just turned up.

It's 4° and peeing it down, an ideal time to go out for a run I think.

I got my issue solved: used dropbox then d/l to my mac.
Then used iSonics to convert the video to an mp3 file. Now I have the audio I need for my project (the song what I wrote!)

I was on the Mendips with a 9ele on 144MHz a long time ago with a West Country accent

I will give it a go on 2m when more favourable WX returns

I can work into North Wales from locations to the N of me on both 4m and 2m in 'normal' conditions, I have 'worked' down your way during a couple of 'lifts'...
I use a lightweight 5 ele yagi although I've been looking at a 3 ele cubical quad..
9 ele would be 'interesting' , I do have a 7 ele but it's too much to haul up hills...

Kinda quiet

@classic33 have you got these in your local Tesco?

There's another one with a blue label, but it's a bit sweet and lightweight.

Those ones below are lovely.
